"LITTLE WISHES" is a short stage play script by D. M. Larson about the importance of little good deeds that make our world a better place.
Little Wishes is a lighthearted stage play set in a coffee shop where a mysterious genie appears and reveals she can grant three wishes to whoever rubs her lamp. When a kind‑hearted barista becomes her “master,” the genie warns that big wishes can have unintended consequences and suggests that small, thoughtful wishes — like random acts of kindness — are often the best. As the story unfolds with humor and gentle magic, the barista navigates the tricky power of wishes, helps a lost little girl, and ultimately discovers that small good deeds can make a big difference. The play celebrates compassion, the unexpected impact of generosity, and the joyful surprises found in everyday kindness.
